A question (which might be based on another Flint). I am totally not
remembering where the whole "teddy turned into spider" scene is, at all,
so I may have my facts off, but if Ron was three when Fred (or George,
can't remember, apologies) turned his teddy into a spider, they were
only four or five. So I'm inferring from this that wizarding children
*do* dabble in magic, but they're not formally schooled until Hogwarts.

Any thoughts? Did I get ages wrong or anything? I can't believe I can't
remember where that *is*....
